I’d like to create the app service then get the service principal from the newly created app service in azure, is there a best way to accomplish this? Should I wrap the app in a async function and await to get it to happen in the correct order and wait for the app to finish being created? I know I can’t use the output name of the app as the argument for getServicePrincipal because that will just pass it as an Output&lt;string&gt;. Is there a better way of accomplishing this?

one sec, I'll paste you something useful :slightly_smiling_face:

depending on how deep you need to go:
```principalId: aks.identity.apply(identity =&gt; identity?.principalId).apply(principalId =&gt; principalId ?? "&lt;preview&gt;")```

that's for aks mind you, but I presume that most of these identity things are similar :slightly_smiling_face:

That makes me feel better. Was doing it in a way similar to this so good to know I was on the right track. Thanks so much!

..if it makes you feel better, that line has a comment next to it in my code: `// oh lawd but it is oogly.`
